When I loved you I was foolish and I knew it
Being true was something you could not retain
After all the times I told myself don't do it
Like a moth I fall into your burnin' flame.
Oh the next time I tell me somethin' I'm gonna listen to
me
Especially when I tell myself and self agrees
Both me and myself oughta be strung up in a hanging tree
The next time I tell me somethin' I'm gonna listen to me.
--- Instrmental ---
Knowing all the time that someday you would leave me
This ole crazy heart of mine kept hangin' on
You've done everything to hurt me and deceive me
Lucky me you found another now you're gone.
Oh the next time I tell me somethin' I'm gonna listen to
me
Especially when I tell myself and self agrees
Both me and myself oughta be strung up in a hanging tree
The next time I tell me somethin' I'm gonna listen to me.
The next time I tell me somethin' I'm gonna listen to
me...
